' 33 Claims.

The present invention relates to improvements in coifee making apparatus, particularly of the type in which a coffee container is adapted to be used in connection with a pressure sealed water 6 container, and wherein the water is adapted when it reaches a boiling point to produce pressure which forces it into the coffee container, from which it passes back into the water container as coffee solution when the pressure therein is reduced. Apparatus of this type at present on the market consists of a lower container having a reduced neck into which a depending funnel provided on an upper container is inserted and sealed by an air-tight joint. These containers are usua proper and eifective seal, 'while at the samev time providing a device which could be operated with ease and without the necessity for careful and skillful adjustment and manipulation of the cooperating parts. Also such previous devices were clumsy and difficult to handle, and required the complete separation oi the cooperating parts in order to pour the coflee solution.

An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus in which all of the parts are of such form that they may be easily and thoroughly cleaned, and which may be economically manufactured from any desiredmaterial, and in particular may be cast, pressed, drawn or spun from metal. A further object is to provide an apparatus in which the sealing'imeans may be operated to provide an effective seal, with very. little effort or skill on the part of the user. Another object is to provide an apparatus which will not necessitate the complete separation of the parts in order to pour the coflee solution.

Referring to Figs. 1 to 6 of the drawings, the coffee making apparatus, according to the exemplary embodiment of the invention disclosed therein, comprises a water container 10 provided below its upper edge with a slightly contracted cylindrical band portion 11, forming upon the interior of the container an annular cylindrical seating portion having an annular shoulder 12 at its upper end. Pouring openings 13 are provided in the portion 11 at a point substantially above the lower end, and a pouring spout 14 is arrangedabout these openings. A handle 15 is sev cured in any suitable manner at the opposed side 100 of the container from the spout. A pair of projections or bosses 16, which may be in the form of rivet heads, as shown, or may be pressed into the metal as will be obvious, are provided near the lower edge of the portion 11 in spaced relation at each side of the pouring spout, and are adapted, as will hereinafter more fully appear, to centrally position the coifee-grounds-container in its raised position in spaced relation to the surface at one or more points contiguous to the handle side of the container with indentations 17 which provide air-vent means when the sealing ring is in place upon the shoulder to permit passage of air during pouring, and as will hereinafter more fully appear.

The cofiee-grounds-container 18 is adapted to be engaged in the water container tor vertical movement therein, and comprises an upper cylindrical portion 19 preferably of the same diameter as the upper end of the water container, an intermediate double taper sealing ring mounting portion consisting of an upper portion 20 connected to the portion 19 by an annular shoulder 21 and tapered downwardly and inwardly and a lower portion 22 tapered downwardly and outwardly, an annular locking groove 23 being formed between the tapered portions 20 and 22. The lower portion 2d of the coflee-grounds-container is of cylindrical shape, an annular locking groove 25 being formed between the upper end of this portion and the lower end of the tapered portion 22. The base 26 of the codee-grounds-container is preferably slightly dished towards the center and is provided with centrally disclosed downwardly depending funnel 27.

An elastic and resilient sealing ring 28, prei= erably formed of rubber and of circular cross section is carried upon the cofiee-grounds-container in relation to have rolling movement between a non-sealing position coincident with the groove 23 and a sealing position upon the tapered portion 20 in spaced relation to said groove. The taper oi the portion 20 normally tends to retain the ring in its position contiguous to the groove 23.

The diameter of the inner surface of the con; tasted portion 11 of the water container in relation to the outer diameter of the sealing ring in its lower position at the base of the tapered portion 20, as indicated in Fig. l, is such that upon insertion of the cofiee-groimds-container-in the water container the sealing ring will rest upon the shoulder 12 to support the codes-grounds" container in its raised position, and in this position it will be observed that the ring is above the pouring openings 13. In order to bring the cofiee-grounds-container to its lower position it is simply pressed downwardly from the position shown in Fig. 1, whereupon the sealing ring 28 rolls upon the surfaces of the portions ii and 2t), and due to the taper of the portion 2c the ring is placed under compression in the lower position as indicated in Fig. 5. In this. lower position the ring is disposed below the pouring openings 13 so that the interior oi. the water container is effectually sealed.

The ports are adapted to be secured in both the raised and lowered position, and for this purpose the portion 11 of the water container is provided near its lower end and at the handle side of the container with an aperture 29 in which there is secured ashouldered and exteriorly threaded tubularbushing 30 riveted over upon the interior oi the container, as at 31.

A cup shaped casing 32 interiorly threaded at its inner end is screwed upon the bushing 30, providing a cylindrical chamber in. which a plunger 33 is adapted to slide, the stem 33 of the plunger extending through a passage 34 in the end of the casing 32 and being provided with a finger rovoovs .so that it will engage the surface or the groove with surface contact. Air-vent openings 41 are provided in the casing 32 ate point outwardly of the plunger inits inwardly pressed position. It will be observed that in this inwardly pressed podtion an air tight seal is provided by engagement of the rubber ring with the tapered seat. Upon pulling outwardly upon the plunger to release the coffee-grounds-container the plunger moves to a point outwardly of the air inlets l1 and permits air to, pass through the bushing into the water container. The purpose of admitting air is to relieve the partial vacuum created within the water container, which would otherwise tend to exert a holding force upon the codes-groundscontslner. Upon admitting air the coffeegrounds-container will therefore move to its upper-position with very little efior and as will hereinafter more fully appear.

A cover 42 is provided upon the cofi'ee-grounds= container 18, and is preferably retained by bayonet ioint formed by providing diametrically opposed grooves &3 in the flange of the cover so;

whichengage indented bosses ed in the codesgrounds-container. [is will be obvious the cover is adapted to be locked and unlocked by a slight rotation. A handle 45 is secured to the cover and is preferably off arched or bail type, and an open- 1.

ing id is provided within the space between the sides of the handle, in which a transparent closure d'l, preferably iorroed of heet-prootgless, is removably secured. ,A suitable construction for secur ng this glass closure comists in providing bosses dd upon the flange of the closure which are engaged in notches d9 6) formed in a flange 5E) bent downwardly irorn the of the opening 56, the bosses being met engaged in the notches and then turned to a point beneath the flange. Inasmuch as the upper end of the water container is of substantially the same diameter as the upper end of the codee-grounds-conteiner the cover 22 may be used upon the water container ii it is desired to remove the cofiee-grounds-contoiner grounds-container over the upper end of the fun- J not .22. A stem 52 hevlng o ring shaped finger engaging handle 53 at its upper end is secured centrally to the drainer, being provided near its lower end with a shoulder 54 which abuts the upper side oi the drainer, the lower end otthe stem being headed over at the under side, as at 55. A spring retaining clip 56 is also secured to the drainer by mean oil the head over end 55. This clip is preferably oi inverted U-shape provided near the lower ends of its side legs with arcuately bent portions 57 adapted to snap into place over an annular projection 58 pressed into the funnel near its upper end, and which thus secures the drainer in place. i

A sheet of filter material 59, preferably of filter paper, is adapted to be placed over the drainer 51, andior this purpose is provided with a central aperture 60, adapted to engage about the shoulder 54, and a slit 61 adapted to be passed-over the ring handle 53. A perforated concavo-conven tainer comprises a shouldered exteriorly threaded bushing 82 secured in an aperture 83 in the water container and riveted over upon the inner side thereotthe passage through the bushing being beveled at its outer end, as at 84. A cap member 85 is rotatably screwed upon the bushing and is provided interiorly with a plug 86 adapted to engage tightly upon the beveled surface 84 in the inwardly turned position of the cap to thus seal the water container. Air-vent holes 87 are provided in the cap outwardly of the bushing, and in the outwardly screwed position of the cap admit air to the water container.

The cotlee-grounds-container consists of a cylindrical upper portion 88 of substantially the same diameter as the upper portion or the water container, a cylindrical intermediate portion 89 provided at its respective upper and lower ends with annular locking grooves 90 and 91 adapted to be engaged by the locking finger '17 of the plunger 76 in. the respective lowered and raised positions of the cofiee-grounds-container, and a lower double tapered portion including an upper tapered part 92 tapered downwardly and inwardly and a lower tapered part 93 tapered downwardly and outwardly. An elastic and resilient sealing ring as is provided upon the tapered portion and is adapted to occupy a position at thejunction of the two tapered portions 92 and 93 in the raised and unsealed position of the cofiee-grounds-container, the ring also resting upon the annular shoulder 72 of the water container in this position. In the lowered position the ring rolls upon the surfaces 92 and I1 and is compressed through the pressure of the tapered portion 92, as shown in the illustration.

The pouring spout in this embodiment is similar to that shown in the first embodiment, the pouring openings being arranged in the contracted band portion 71, so that the ring moves to a position above the pouring openings in the raised relation of the coilee-grounds container and into a position below 'the pouring openings in the lower position or the coiIee-grounds-container.

The operation is substantially similar to the first embodiment, except that the locking means is actuated independently of the air-vent means.

In the lower operative position the air-vent means is closed, so that pressure will be created in the water-container at the beginning of the cofiee making operation and a partial vacuum will be produced upon reducing the-temperature at the completion of the operation. When the coffee has flowed into the lower water container the air a cylindrical contract d band portion 95 havingan annular shoulder 96 at its upper end, and a handle 97 provided with a locking plunger 98 similar in construction and' operation to that shown in Fig. 9. The pouring spout 99 and the pouring openings 100 are arranged below the lower or sealing position of the sealing ring and a removable sealing cap 101 is screwed into the lucrative end of the pouring spout. when this cap is in place the interior of the water container is rendered air-tight. Air is, admitted thereto upon removal of the cap.

The coiiee-grounds-container comprises an upper portion 102 of substantially the same diameter as the upper end of the water container, and annular locking groove 103 in spaced relation below the portion 102 adapted to be engaged by the plunger 98 in the lower operative position, an in termediate doubled tapered portion including an upper part 104 tapered downwardly and inwardly and a lower part 105 tapered downwardly and outwardly, and a cylindrical bottom portion 106. The sealing ring 107 is disposed upon the tapered portion 104 and when the cofiee-grounds-con tainer is removed occupies a position at the base of this tapered portion.

In operation the cofiee-grounds-container is pressed to its lower position as shown in the drawings, the sealing ring rolling upon the surfaces 10%- and 95 and being'compressed to seal the water container, and the cofiee-grounds-container being retained in this relation by engagement of the plunger 98 in the groove 103. The cap 101 is placed upon the spout to render the water container air-tight, and thereupon the operation is similar to that of the other forms of the invention. Whtn the cofiee is completed the sealing cap 101 is removed and the cofifee may then. be poured in a substantially similar manner to an ordinary coffee pot;

In Fig. 11, I have shown a modified form sealing means for the spout 99 comprising a cap 108 hinged at 109 upon a projection 110 formed upon the spout and provided with a finger engaging projection 111. A spring 112 is disposed between a lug 113 formed upon the cap and a lug 11% formed upon the spout and is adapted to have a toggle action, being so arranged that in the open position of the cap the line ofi'spring pressure is at one side of the pivotal axes and in the closed positionis at the other side of the pivotal .axes, the cap moving into its open and closedpositions with a snap action as the pressure line of the spring moves over dead center. The cap is preferably provided with a tapered preferably resilient facing 116 adapted to tightly engage a beveled seating portion 117 formed upon the end of the spout.

I have illustrated and described preferred and satisfactory embodiments of the invention, but it will be obvious that changes may be made therein, within the spirit and scope thereof, as defined in the appended claims.
